There are a handful of places on earth where the ocean’s huge waves curl in a form perfect enough to hurtle a steel-nerved athlete on the ride of a lifetime. From November to February, the north shores of the Hawaiian Islands beckon to surfers the way Everest calls to climbers.

As if she were in the green room, the underwater space where tons of churning water can imprison a surfer, Storm is buffeted and disoriented by local legend, greed, and cutthroat competition. It is in this environment that Storm must confront not only a vicious killer but a haunting incident from her past.
